Draft genome sequences of five clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates and a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis isolate

Abstract

We report the complete draft genome sequences of five individually isolated strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and a Staphylococcus epidermidis strain. These clinically important isolates have staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type A, while Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin coding genes were present in MRSA isolates only.
